IMPORTANT INFO & UPDATES

|
As an organization, we are taking great health precautions and care for our small + mighty staff of 2, our members, community volunteers and the unhoused brothers and sisters we serve.
Hot meal prep and distributions on Wednesday and Friday nights are cancelled until April. However, we are still picking up food from other sources and distributing to communities in need across Oakland. If you are a restaurant, caterer or had a catered event that was cancelled, please contact us. We prefer individually wrapped meals. We are not accepting home cooked meals. If you have non-perishable food to donate, please contact us.
We are adhering to the no large gatherings and social distancing guidelines. Our next Feed the Hood event would normally be in April, but we will likely postpone until June.
